DUBAI: Saudi model Amira Al-Zuhair this week walked in Louis Vuitton’s high jewelry show in Saint-Tropez, attended by celebrities such as British actress Phoebe Dynevor and Thai actress Urassaya Sperbund.

The collection, the label’s sixth high jewelry collection, was designed by the house’s artistic director of jewelry and watches, Francesca Amfitheatrof.

Al-Zuhair, born to a French mother and Saudi father in Paris, wore an intricate chunky choker that features a wide, structured design with a lattice-like pattern in gold, adorned with numerous diamonds. The focal point of the necklace is a large yellow gemstone, which adds a contrast to the overall design.

Ashi’s creations have been worn by celebrities and stars including Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Hudson, Kylie Minogue, Penelope Cruz, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, and Queen Rania of Jordan.

Ashi became the first couturier from the Gulf region to join the Federation de la Haute Couture in Paris as a guest member in 2023. He was also the first Gulf designer included in the BoF 500 list, the Business of Fashion’s index of people shaping the fashion industry in 2023.

At the awards ceremony, “Sinners” claimed the Actor Award for best movie cast, a victory that sets up a face-off ​with “One Battle After Another” for the prestigious Best Picture prize at the upcoming Oscars.

Delroy Lindo accepted the Actor Award trophy with fellow “Sinners” cast members standing behind him on stage in Los Angeles. The Warner Bros movie tells the story of two brothers who set up a juke joint in the segregation-era US South and are confronted by a vampire in a tale that celebrates blues music and Black culture.

“Every single day we brought ourselves, we brought our hearts, we brought our souls, we brought our spirits to this endeavor,” Lindo said at the ceremony, which was streamed live on Netflix. “To be recognized by you all, thank you does not even ‌begin to encompass ‌the gratitude that we feel.”

“Sinners” star Michael B. Jordan, who ​plays ‌two ⁠roles - brothers Smoke ​and ⁠Stack - was named best film actor. Jordan thanked his fellow nominees in a field that included “Marty Supreme” star Timothee Chalamet and “One Battle After Another” actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

“This ride has been unbelievable and I thank you for welcoming me in and making me feel seen,” Jordan said.
